Thread: How is Hd4850 card?can it run gta4 and crysis at maxx settings?

I have bought 4850 from ebay at a lower price.one of my friend is ready to buy from me at same price.so my question is is 4850 a good card for maxx settings gaming at resolutions upto 1280(for my 16" monitor)?i am not interested in AA.

I had done a review of my card some time back, you can read it here:
ATI 4850 review

To play GTA4 maxed out, you need the 1GB variant and a Quad core PC with 4GB RAM.

good review

I have core 2 duo and i maxed ou GTA 4 and it runs fine.

@darksmart
yes u can if u have a good config.

wow can i maxx out at athlonII x3 435,2 gb transcend 800mhz?and how about crysis?

HD 4850 can smoke crysis in high settings in ur 16" screen, i use to run crysis @ 1400*900 all High no AA and in medium shadows...
i get nearly 35 to 45fps constant and i use to run it on my AMD athlon x2 5200+ and 4gb ddr 800mhz and win7 64bit and my sweet old Radeon hd 3850 512mb Gddr3...

as far as GTA4 u can run in ur max resolution and in setting u should lower a bit by keeping every thing inside 10...

save some money and get a 2gb stick, it will come in handy..

Use the latest catalyst 10.3 and dx feb2010...
Have a Pure 450w to 500w smps or u may burn ur smps which it came with ur cabine...

Note:
Games which has Nvidia Physx on it will give bad framerate in Radeon cards...

bye..
have a nice day...

nice review.so to conclude it can maxx out most of modern games.BTW what were the details for crysis?high/very high/ultra high?

Thanks bonda.
Which psu to go for?is corsair 400w or gigabyte 460w(both are under my budget)are ok for my spec?athlon x3 435,2 gigs(may be addind 2 more gigs)ram,2 hdds, and an optical drive.

go with corsair m8...

If u r looking to add a extra graphic card go with a 550w psu...

Thats true only when you enable Physx, even with cards like 9800GT or even GTS250, if you enable physx you will get bad framerates.

My HDD is WD Caviar Green. Specs are 2 TB, SATA 3 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache. It's really good for my line of work but my kids want to use the PC for gaming as well. I like it because it's eco-friendly.
